Parameters

continuationAction: Action<Task<TResult>,Object>

An action to run when the Task<TResult> completes. When run, the delegate will be passed the completed task and the caller-supplied state object as arguments.

state: Object

An object representing data to be used by the continuation action.

cancellationToken: CancellationToken

The CancellationToken that will be assigned to the new continuation task.

continuationOptions: TaskContinuationOptions

Options for when the continuation is scheduled and how it behaves. This includes criteria, such as OnlyOnCanceled, as well as execution options, such as ExecuteSynchronously.

Examples

The following example creates an antecedent task that uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes to calculate the prime numbers between 1 and a value entered by the user. An array is used to hold information about the prime numbers. The array index represents the number, and the element's value indicates whether that number is composite (its value is true) or prime (its value is false). This task is then passed to a continuation task, which is responsible for extracting the prime numbers from the integer array and displaying them.

A cancellation token is passed to both the antecedent and the continuation task. A System.Timers.Timer object is used to define a timeout value of 100 milliseconds. If the event fires, the CancellationTokenSource.Cancel method is called, and the cancellation token is used to request cancellation of the tasks.

ContinueWith(Action<Task<TResult>,Object>, Object)

Source:: Future.cs

Source:: Future.cs

Source:: Future.cs

Creates a continuation that is passed state information and that executes when the target Task<TResult> completes.

public:
 System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ ContinueWith(Action<System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^, System::Object ^> ^ continuationAction, System::Object ^ state);

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task ContinueWith (Action<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>,object> continuationAction, object state);

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task ContinueWith (Action<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>,object?> continuationAction, object? state);

override this.ContinueWith : Action<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>, obj> * obj -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task

Public Function ContinueWith (continuationAction As Action(Of Task(Of TResult), Object), state As Object) As Task

Parameters

continuationAction: Action<Task<TResult>,Object>

An action to run when the Task<TResult> completes. When run, the delegate is passed the completed task and the caller-supplied state object as arguments.

state: Object

An object representing data to be used by the continuation action.

Returns

Task

A new continuation Task.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The continuationAction argument is null.

Examples

The following example creates a task that is passed an integer between 2 and 20 and returns an array that contains the first ten exponents (from n¹ to n¹⁰) of that number. A continuation task is then responsible for displaying the exponents. It is passed both the antecedent and the original number whose exponents the antecedent generates.

Type Parameters

TNewResult

The type of the result produced by the continuation.

Parameters

continuationFunction: Func<Task<TResult>,Object,TNewResult>

A function to run when the Task<TResult> completes. When run, the delegate will be passed the completed task and the caller-supplied state object as arguments.

state: Object

An object representing data to be used by the continuation function.

cancellationToken: CancellationToken

The CancellationToken that will be assigned to the new task.

continuationOptions: TaskContinuationOptions

Options for when the continuation is scheduled and how it behaves. This includes criteria, such as OnlyOnCanceled, as well as execution options, such as ExecuteSynchronously.

Examples

The following example creates a chain of continuation tasks. Each task provides the current time, a DateTime object, for the state argument of the ContinueWith(Action<Task,Object>, Object) method. Each DateTime value represents the time at which the continue task is created. Each task produces as its result a second DateTime value that represents the time at which the task finishes. After all tasks finish, the example displays the date and times at which each continuation task starts and finishes.

Returns

Task<TNewResult>

A new continuation Task<TResult>.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

Source:: Future.cs

Creates a continuation that executes asynchronously when the target Task<TResult> completes.

public:
generic <typename TNewResult>
 System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TNewResult> ^ ContinueWith(Func<System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^, TNewResult> ^ continuationFunction, System::Threading::Tasks::TaskScheduler ^ scheduler);

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TNewResult> ContinueWith<TNewResult> (Func<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>,TNewResult> continuationFunction, System.Threading.Tasks.TaskScheduler scheduler);

override this.ContinueWith : Func<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>, 'NewResult> * System.Threading.Tasks.TaskScheduler -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'NewResult>

Public Function ContinueWith(Of TNewResult) (continuationFunction As Func(Of Task(Of TResult), TNewResult), scheduler As TaskScheduler) As Task(Of TNewResult)

Type Parameters

TNewResult

The type of the result produced by the continuation.

Parameters

continuationFunction: Func<Task<TResult>,TNewResult>

A function to run when the Task<TResult> completes. When run, the delegate will be passed the completed task as an argument.

scheduler: TaskScheduler

The TaskScheduler to associate with the continuation task and to use for its execution.

Returns

Task<TNewResult>

A new continuation Task<TResult>.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The Task<TResult> has been disposed.

ArgumentNullException

The continuationFunction argument is null.
